Simutrans Tutorial / Re: Tutorial - mail extension

Last post by Andarix - January 19, 2026, 09:29:43 PM

The conversion is mostly complete, including errors.

If there are free tile, a post office building is required.

If there are no free tile, a post office stop is required.

The waiting area for postal vehicles is being moved to a post office stop.

The selection of the post office building and post office stop is automatic when using automatic progression.

Since I changed the halt fields, saved tutorials no longer work.

Despite specifying Waytype 0, objects with other waytypes are also returned.

This is the intended format:
name => object
number => waytype
Only in the later building stages, the object is know, not at the time when the tool is called, since the last waytape is cached with the tool.

Before, there had been actually ways with waytype tram_wt. But I am ok with removing this old code, as now track get converted anyway on pak set loading time.

Using the same driver for removal and adding wayobj sounds sensible to me. But the scenario checker must not be removed.

I added this in r11872

This is a good idea. I would take a patch for it.

today, the credit per electric(MW) is fixed as 2 in leitung2.h.
I want to edit it for my paksets.

I suggest that credit per MW can be set and editted in settings.

I write and debug it. When we use way_checker_t for build_wayobj, we do not need to care about the depot waytype(tram/track).

I understand what run in 124.3.1.

In 124.3.1, wayremover_t also run on 0km/h way, because it use way_checker_t.
However, we cannot build wayobj on 0km/h way, because it use usual vehicle_t called in vehicle_builder_t::build().
So, I want to use way_checke_t in tool_build_wayobj_t.

The idea is correct, but the value is wrong.

The `tool_id` is correct. Only the object name is passed differently.

The name is passed via the button.
The value 1 is passed via the key "s".




Docu function
is_work_allowed_here()

The description doesn't seem to be entirely correct either. There, "name" is defined as "coord3d".

I think this is a simutrans bug, not a tutorial bug.
